yes, i'm trying to work out a way that goes with the method on the 
Installing_Lazarus wiki page... not sure how best to work it in...

i thought about that later but wanted to wait and see what responses i got...

there are no mods, AFAIK... i tortoise them, fpc and laz, down to their own 
directories on my machine, run the .bat file and wait to see if it completes or 
fails on building fpc... then i run the other .bat file and wait to see if it 
completes or fails on building laz...

here's my makelaz.bat...

@echo on
set myversion=2.4.5
set mypath=c:\freepascal\fpc\%myversion%
set mybinutils=c:\freepascal\binutils
set PATH=%mybinutils%\i386-win32;%mypath%\bin\i386-win32;%PATH%
cd c:\freepascal\laz
make clean all OPT="-glw2"
cd \freepascal

what's a normal build??

this might have been a drive space problem... i got down to less than 2M 
available and discovered it after running into this problem... i shall try the 
above .bat again and see what happens...

i guess i should also report this over on fpc-devel??
